Our Kids

Since our founding in 2002, Cops for Kids with Cancer has supported over 1,240 families with children battling cancer. The story of every child and every family we assist is unique, but each and every child we meet is living a life of strength, courage, and perseverance. 

Here at Cops for Kids with Cancer, our kids inspire us time and time again. Today, we are providing support to 8 to 10 families per month across New England.

Here are the stories of just a few of the children who have inspired us.
